Pokemon Trading Card Game Live has been delayed until 2022
The Pokemon Company has announced a slight delay to its upcoming replacement of the Pokemon TCG Online app, wanting to give players "a more polished experience".
Pokemon TCG Live's initial rollout has been delayed slightly, with The Pokemon Company announcing that the mobile soft launch and global open beta for desktop have been nudged into 2022.
"To provide Trainers with a more polished experience, the Pokemon TCG Live mobile soft launch in Canada, and global open beta for desktop, have been shifted to 2022," the developer has announced on Twitter. "We'll have more to share soon on timing for both this testing period and the full launch of Pokemon TCG Live."The game was supposed to land at some point in 2021, with full cross-play support at launch, but this delay will push everything back into 2022.
There's no specific date on when we can expect the open beta or full rollout of the game, so you're just going to have to keep using Pokemon TCG Online for the next little while. Don't worry about redeeming your collections, though; everything you have in the old app will migrate over to the new app once it's launched.
